When at a roundabout, driving a car, and the person you've given way to (as per the road rules), waves a thank you as if you've done them a favour.


This has happened so many times in the last week I've lost count (I live right by a mini roundabout). I'm just following the rules, don't thank me!

Completely appreciate that politeness is a good thing, that's why I recognise my rage as being irrational :)


I have long since given up on anyone going straight down Underhill Rd through the roundabout giving way to me.


I still find oranges cause me rage, but I probably mentioned that back on page 2.

Trip to the theatre ruined by people yakking and troughing. Friday night audience come up to town for the evening, determined to get their money's worth, laughing at everything regardless of whether funny or not. Seats clearly not designed for 21st century fat people. No 12 bus home next to man with stinking MacDonalds and drunk people with amusing ringtones. Wish I'd stayed stayed at work.
people that insist on wearing a hoodie with the hood up and sunglasses on a hot summers day!!!!! Sunglasses fair enough, but unless you suffer with a medical condition which requires an individual to dress accordingly what's with the hoodie, what's your excuse? Is it a new hipster craze?

Surprising the amount of people that do that, used to drive me mad when I used to watch my son play for the youth side 5 years ago.

When my son played for the under age teams what drove me mad was kids talking about headering the ball. What the hell is headering? Did your son play for DH prior to the youth team PD? Mine one is 23 now. Stopped playing @ U14's

Indeed, the phrase is "heading". Clearly some of those using the headering term have been listening to too many pundits, god help them. My son is also now 23, he played for them until he was 18, he was managed by a guy called Ian, during his last season they won the London cup 5- 1. There was a lot of politics going on around that time, ground sharing with Fisher and all sorts, financial shenanigans. When the lads got to the end of that season they were all released as they were too old and none were taken on by the then manager, again political. Very sad.

When have I done that? Think I've been known to refer to going to a match as "going to the hamlets" but I don't think I've ever called them Dulwich Hamlets and if I did it was an error.

I dunno, all these johnnie-come-latelies, popping in for the first time since 1846 now there's a sniff of success in the air.


Bloody glory hunters!!!

    • Changing subject, slightly.. what is taking over from what was cheese shop.. ? Next to other parade of shops.. which is on Dulwich Parade .. near bookshop, estate agent and closed for failing health and safety.. fined as well.. please god, not another place selling food.. opposite Court Lane.. 
    • what type of car was it, if they are in demand, might be helpful info.
    • Which has, unfortunately, closed. Au Ciel is much better than Gail's. Big bakery in the parade of shops near Rocca in Dulwich Village with all the seats outside - you can't miss it. Normally a big queue outside at weekends with walkers and cyclists topping up on carbs and coffee!
    • Hi, just to say there was an attempted car theft at the FH end of Underhill over Friday night. Without wanting to go into all the detail, they were pretty adamant and took a great deal of time to (try) take the car. The police came within minutes, and drove around etc.. The police said the car was in demand at the moment. I don’t know if that was brand or model. notwithstanding what the police said, all car owners should be vigilant and neighbours. These thieves were interrupted twice by neighbours, but the thieves came back etc and the neighbours didn’t put 2+2 together as to what was happening to the car. The thieves were two guys, on the cctv it looked like they were wearing grey, but it may have been black (cctv can look odd at night). My neighbours said they were black. They had a bag with them, no doubt carrying tools and they may have been dropped off by a car, that is being investigated.  Take care!!
